HHH alum Marchesi profiled in UMN Human Rights Ideas & Action

Human Rights Initiative Grants

In August 2017, Professor Lisa Hilbink and graduate students Bridget Marchesi (MPP 2012) and Valentina Salas traveled to Colombia and Chile to conduct research for Professor Hilbink’s project, “Equal Rights & Unequal Remedies: Understanding Citizen Perceptions of and Engagement with the Judicial System,” funded by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Human Rights Initiative.

The project seeks to move beyond institutionally-focused studies to explore how, why, and with what consequences citizens perceive the legal remedies available to them when they experience human rights violations. You can read more about it here.
